On this subject, I am curious to see if the audience would regard different types of interaction on different levels, per say, or on a basis of greater need- for example, the interaction with bodily needs trumping interaction with other people. A hermit can live without social interaction, but needs the essential needs of life to actually stay alive; can the same be said for one who must live on friends alone? It is through this, I would see that the need for the interaction of food is greater, and therefore possibly held in a higher respect, than that of social interaction.
Just a few questions to think about:
- What would you describe as the more prominent interactions in human life?
((Take note, this is different from defining it, as this encourages a list of sorts)) - What interaction would be the most important than anything else, to you as a person?
- Do you believe in "levels" of interaction, that some are more important than others?
- Do you believe that interaction makes up the human experience?
- Do you believe that interaction is necessary for humans?

Personally, I believe that interaction is a necessity that cannot be ignored. It is a given that is placed before a person as soon as they enter the world- a baby must interact with its mother to live; it must interact with others to learn how to speak, walk, or perform tasks. A person must eat, therefore coming into contact with a once-live organism, so I render it interaction even if the item is inanimate. Without interaction, humans would just be empty shells, in my opinion. Without another being to put as reference, the human mind would be at a blank- for, it parrots the actions of others to form our ability and character.
I see interaction as reliance on an object, after coming into contact with it. Simply walking past a person does nothing; however, waving and greeting them is placing a choice on them to reply or ignore you. Thus, you “rely†on the person to greet you back, even if you are ignored. Interaction works with animate and inanimate objects, as well- by using a calculator, we rely on its function to give us the answer to our equation.
The interaction of the bodily need, social need, and spiritual need/need of the mind are what I would deem the most important, and perhaps the only three main categories with many subcategories. Bodily need is what the person must interact with to maintain optimal health, social need is where a person interacts with another in hopes of learning something, and spiritual need is interactions that coterie ute to one's reasoning, thoughts and state of mind (not to mention, religion). These three; the body, mind, and spirit- are more commonly used when referring to the balance of one's health, I believe (feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this point)- therefore, the interactions with these categories are necessary components in a human's life.
However, though these three types of interaction should be theoretically balanced, I believe them to be on different levels. I put the bodily needs at the top, followed by spiritual needs and then social needs. One must have the ability to live before forming coherent thought, and must retain thought to be able to interact on a more worldly scale, according to my process of thought. Living a simple existence, though extremely dull, would appeal to me more than others, I would guess, than supposedly "dying" without the outside connections- death of the mind and soul.
